Cee Question

I know you arent suppose to stack creatine mono with a stimulant fat burner but can you stack one with cee. I was wondering because I am going to go on a cutting cycle and am planning to take an ephedra based fat burner. I have a tendency to lose some strength while cutting. I was hoping that by taking some cee I can avoid the loss of strength. I was thinking this could be possible because it isnt suppose to retain water like creatine mono.
